Sixty-four stone lions outside Shuixi Village

Tianjin Wei has a mustard garden, and there is a Shuixizhuang next to the mustard garden, which is the two famous gardens of Tianjin Wei in the old days!

Shuixizhuang is a garden villa built by the father and son of Tianjin salt merchant "Cha Riqian" and "Cha Weiren". The mustard garden is another garden built by Cha Weiren's brother, on the right side of Shuixizhuang, taking the name of "a Hanshi" and humbling. After Emperor Qianlong came here to play, he gave the name "Mustard Garden" to get its name.

Although both gardens are beautiful places, in comparison, Shuixizhuang is better.

Shuixizhuang is located on the southwest side of Weishui (South Canal), so it is named "Shuixizhuang". It was built in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the water and trees in the park are beautiful, the scenery is elegant, the Langhuan Water Pavilion is beautiful. In the old days, there were famous places such as the Pillow Creek Corridor, the Lotus Lotus Champs, the Lancui Xuan, the Flower Shadow Nunnery, the Boyue Fang, the Blue Sea Floating Conch Pavilion, etc., which were the best places for the literati and scholars at that time, chanting poems and talking freely.

It is known as the three major private gardens of the Qing Dynasty together with Yangzhou Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion and Hangzhou Xiaoshan Hall. Later generations have proved that Shuixizhuang is also the prototype of the Grand View Garden in Mr. Cao Xueqin's "Stone Records". It's a pity that during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Shuixizhuang was abandoned and declined, and during the Republic of China, only the ruins and broken walls remained, and the ruins and tiles were just decayed. Only the two stone lions in front of the gate, although they are crawling with vines, they have stood for a long time.

Han Daring broke through the nine bends at night, and in the dark room in the courtyard of the Sanyang Sect Altar, he found several thieves, who were carefully chiseling a stone beast, as if they wanted to find something on the back of the stone beast.

Han Daring had been to the deserted Shuixizhuang before, so he recognized this stone beast, which seemed to be the stone lion guarding the door of Shuixizhuang. He stood outside the door and peeked in for a long time, knowing that something must be strange.

In my early years, I heard that the stone lion outside Shuixi Village had a treasure, and the story of the southern barbarian holding the treasure, but it was just hearsay.

In old times, southerners don't care that northerners call them "barbarians", and northerners call southerners "barbarians", so they are often called "southern barbarians and northern barbarians". At that time, some people often saw some southern barbarians, walking the streets and alleys in Tianjin, collecting some old goods everywhere.

The old goods we are talking about are not antiques, antiques such as calligraphy and paintings, but those that are not used by ordinary people, old dustpans, broken brooms, jars of hemp rope, and rotten fences. This kind of person often wears a southern accent, and the trade is very unreasonable, and the collection is all waste products that even the basket pickers don't look down on.

So some people later said that at this time, the southern barbarians came to Tianjin to defend the treasure. This kind of person who holds treasures has extraordinary eyesight and can see the treasures in ordinary objects. Therefore, the waste products they collect seem to ordinary people to be just rags, but in their hands, they are of great use, and they can take out treasures from them.

According to folk legend, only one of the stone lions outside Shuixi Village is real, and the other is changed by the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Because after the stone lion was carved, one was accidentally damaged during transportation, so only one stone lion was transported and placed at the gate of Shuixizhuang and covered with red silk cloth.

The owner asked the stonemason to carve another one and make a pair. But just when the stonemason was in a hurry to carve another stone lion, there was a strong wind one night, and out of nowhere, an identical stone lion blew. You may ask, this stone lion, which is not made of lamp grass, can still make the wind blow all over the sky?

It's folklore, and I can tell it as I hear it, and don't take it seriously. The so-called strong wind blows in the mean, which probably means that it just appeared out of thin air overnight.

How could this good and dignified person appear out of thin air, and it was exactly the same as the one originally wrapped in red cloth? For a while, the common people spread that some people said that later this stone lion was the "green lion" of Manjushri Bodhisattva!

It is said that Manjushri Bodhisattva went to the Uncovered Conference, and when he passed by the sky above Shuixizhuang, he brought a gust of wind. The wind rolled up the red cloth covered with the stone lion, the Bodhisattva mounted the green lion, saw the stone lion at the door of Shuixi Village, looked exactly like him, and was curious for a while, so he took advantage of the Bodhisattva to go to the meeting, and went to the mortal world in private at night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the green lion glanced at the stone lion, the stone lion came to life, and he played in the water in the Wei River with the green lion. But after staying for a long time and forgetting the time, the Bodhisattva found that the mount was gone, and calculated that the green lion Sifan was in the lower realm, so he punished it for turning it into stone for 500 years, and the stone lion was one left and one right, guarding the gate of Shuixi Village.

Later, Tianjin Wei came to a southern barbarian who held back the treasure, he saw that among the two stone lions, one was the Bodhisattva's mount, and the stone lion had a treasure hidden in it, so he wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness, chisel the stone lion, and take away the treasure. But if you want to get the treasure, there is a special condition, you must start it at the same time as the year, month and day when the green lion was petrified, and there is only one chance in sixty years.

If you want to chisel the stone lion and take the treasure, this bodhisattva's mount will become an ordinary stone, and even after the disaster is overcome, it will not be able to restore its true form and return to the spiritual mountain. The people of Tianjin could not let the southern barbarians succeed, so the people of Tianjin joined forces to guard, guarding day and night, in case the southern barbarians succeeded.

But the southern barbarian is quick-witted, and he is better at the end of the day. He calculated the time of the day, and with great pain, he used subterfuge to divert the night watchman. After that, a square groove was opened behind the stone lion to take the treasure. But he never expected that the moon was dark in the middle of the night, and in his hurry, he didn't recognize it clearly, and opened the wrong stone lion.

The square groove was not opened on the back of the green lion, but on the back of the original real stone lion. After the grooving, there was nothing inside, and when he tried to open another one, the guards had already rushed back, and he had no choice but to give up.

The people of Tianjin Wei saw the slotting behind the stone lion and thought that the treasure had been taken away, so they could only make a patch with a stone to mend the back of the stone lion, and then there was no one to guard it.

Seeing that the opportunity was missed, the Southern Barbarian would have to wait for sixty years to get the treasure, and it was impossible in this life. This southern barbarian blamed himself for being careless and losing his treasure, and he also took advantage of his small heart, and he couldn't get up in one breath, so he couldn't afford to get sick, and soon died of hatred.

Since then, there has been an extra complement on the back of the stone lion outside Shuixi Village. And what treasure is in the stone lion, and whether the treasure was taken away by the Southern Barbarian, is a matter of opinion.

Han Daring only knew that for many years, the stone lion outside Shuixi Village had been standing still without any abnormality, and he had not seen anyone go to dig the stone lion to hunt for treasure. He didn't believe in these ghostly things by nature, so he occasionally heard that someone said that the story of the stone lion holding the treasure was just a smile.

Today, when I saw this group of Sanyang Sect disciples, splitting stone lions, I guess they also believed the legendary nonsense and wanted to find treasures. I just don't know when these people moved the stone lion outside Shuixi Village here!

His night investigation this time was to break through the Sanyang Sect's branch altar of the Nine Bends, and now he has not found the culprit in charge, so it is not appropriate to risk alarming the enemy. Just now he was in the cave to save people, and there was no other way to kill the enemy in a hurry.

A few people in the dark room in front of him are just splitting stones and lions to hunt for treasures, and they don't have to startle the snakes, it is still important to find the culprit. He turned around and was about to leave, when he heard a loud ringing of a bell on the eaves.

Han Daring knew that someone must have broken into this place and set off the alarm. No matter who the person is, it will never be a party of the Sanyang Sect, otherwise the alarm will not be triggered. Maybe this person is also Tonglu himself, in case of a mistake, he must help, so he hurriedly and carefully followed the bell to find it.

In fact, this bell was the eight-armed ape Zhu Tianfei who hit the tripbell, and some hidden villains fired crossbow arrows towards the sound. Han Daring was lying behind the ridge of the roof, and happened to see the person who released the arrow, and also saw the figure of the person who touched the bell.

As soon as Han Daring saw that figure, he felt very familiar, and then looked at his jumping movements, he guessed that it was his little uncle Zhu Tianfei! He knew that Zhu Tianfei was very skilled, and he was not too worried, but he was afraid that tonight, the masked man would suddenly come to the door, and he complained a little in his heart about Zhu Tianfei, why did he venture here.

At this time, he didn't know that Fan Tong went to his house to report the funeral, and Mei was able to lead a team to search the alley.

Han Daring did not show up, but followed Zhu Tianfei from a distance. He is also damaged enough, as the saying goes, throw stones to ask for directions, and pull grass to find snakes. He used his little uncle as a stone to throw out and a stick to pull grass. Zhu Tianfei broke in front, and he picked up ready-made ones in the back.

Of course, this is Zhu Tianfei, if he changed someone else, Han Da'er would have stopped it a long time ago. Just because Zhu Tianfei is very strong, he stretched out his hand to be very high above Han Daring, and Han Daring learned some of his unique skills from him. So let him go to the thunder in front, Han Daring is not worried, it is really dangerous, and it is not too late for Han Daring to help.

Zhu Tianfei wanted to scratch his tongue, but who knew that he would not enter the iron house, Han Daring was even behind, and he had already copied a stone in his hand, thinking that if the situation changed, he would use the stone to remind Zhu Tianfei. At this time, when he saw that the iron door was lowered, he hurriedly made a move, and the flying stone was stuck under the iron door, leaving a gap for Zhu Tianfei to reach out and lift the door.

As soon as Zhu Tianfei escaped from the iron house, he was caught by a group of Sanyang cultists, Han Daring wanted to come to the rescue, but the culprit had not yet appeared, he saw that this group of people did not hurt Zhu Tianfei, so he had to temporarily not show up and secretly follow, waiting for the opportunity to move.

When the man in white appeared, he wanted to let his subordinates pick Zhu Tianfei's muscles, and at this time, Han Dada'er showed up to make a move, and the two nephews joined forces to defend against the enemy!

Zhu Tianfei was pleasantly surprised when he saw Han Dada'er for the first time, although he believed that Han Dada'er was blessed with a great life and great creation, but there was also a one in thousands of miles, so he couldn't help but worry about the safety of his nephew. But when he saw Han Da'er dressed in the clothes of the Sanyang Sect, and saw that his face was full of dust, he guessed that this kid must have come a long time ago and had been lurking secretly. He must be the one who throws a stone and strikes the iron plate, and the one who uses the stone to jam the main iron gate must be him.

Zhu Tianfei thought to himself, this kid saw that he was in danger, so he didn't show up, but hid his whereabouts, and he didn't make a move until the end, this was really using himself as a big knife!

So his eyes did not leave the enemy at all, but his mouth scolded:

"You're a bastard! Don't wait until your uncle is going to be picked on by someone and cut the body into pieces, then you will make a move! ”

Han Daring smiled:

"I'm not afraid of delaying you to show your face, otherwise how can you show your ability to be an eight-armed ape!"

Zhu Tianfei said:

"Fart! When I go home, I have to sue your wife! ”

At this time, the man in white said loudly:

"Home? I'll send you both away now! ”、

His voice was cold and sonorous, like the sound of metal. Before the words fell, all the disciples in the stone room rushed towards Han Daring and Zhu Tianfei!

These people are like crazy, except for a dozen or so big men, some of them are not bad, and the rest of them are just undisciplined, nothing more than beating randomly, some bite when they open their mouths, and some scratch when they reach out. Han Daring's nephews and uncles are not used to it.

Their hands are like lightning, and their actions are like the wind. Punch in the palm, stumble under the leg, not a small moment to eliminate the belt, and the crowd of people will be beaten on their backs. But instead of feeling pain, these people became more frantic when they were punched and kicked, and as soon as they fell to the ground, they got up and pounced again.

These people are bloodshot, excited, and tireless. If only one or two young people were like this, there were many sixty-year-old men, like the young and strong, who frantically pounced and bitten. This is less than 100 people, but there is a feeling of going forward and succeeding, thousands of troops.

Han Da'er knew that the so-called holy water that these people drank just now must be the same as the medicine in Hua Si'er, which made people lose their minds and forget their minds, go crazy and painless, and were only controlled by the person who gave the medicine.

Zhu Tianfei saw that these people were fighting more and more, and he couldn't help but use his heavy hand to kill several strong men in white in a row.

Han Da'er hurriedly said:

"Little uncle! These people have been drugged, have lost their normality, and have no idea of pain! ”

Zhu Tianfei kicked away a fat man who pounced on him, and said loudly:

"Then immobilize them!"

Han Daring thought that Zhu Tianfei was going to kill on a killing spree, and was worried that some of these people were not evildoers, but also ordinary people who were deceived and controlled, so he wanted to speak out to stop Zhu Tianfei from being heavy-handed!

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tianfei never wanted to kill people, but when the matter was urgent just now, those strong men were the men in white who accompanied him, so they were ruthless.

He just said that he wanted to make these people unable to move, but in fact, he didn't want to kill them, but he used the technique of splitting the muscles and bones, and unloaded the joints of their hands and feet one by one, so that they couldn't afford to end, they couldn't use their strength, no matter how crazy they were, they could only scream on the ground!

Seeing these people fall to the ground, although some people rubbed their bodies and wanted to open their mouths to bite, they could only stay in place.

The man in white not far away was not alarmed. Because soon dozens more people rushed through the tunnel into the stone chamber. At this moment, the man in white suddenly waved out his two hands, and six cold rays of light shot towards Han Da'er and Zhu Tianfei.

Han Da'er saw the cold light flashing, it was six silver shining flying knives, but he didn't dodge. Because he knew that his little uncle Zhu Tianfei had been freed, he didn't need to pay attention to these flying knives and hidden weapons at all.

I saw Zhu Tianfei's arms swing, a little in front of the six cold lights, the cold lights suddenly stopped, but he was already holding six flying knives in his hands.

Zhu Tianfei smiled:

"Your name as an eight-gibbon monkey is for nothing! I know who you kid is! ”

Zhu Tianfei swung out with his backhand, and six flying knives shot towards the man in white! As soon as the flying knife was shot, Zhu Tianfei had already pulled out the fork handle slingshot, and the projectile shot out, seven or eight points of light, and lightning flew out.

The flying knife shoots first, and the iron egg is fired, but the iron egg is faster than the flying knife, and it runs towards the legs of the man in white. The man in white moved really quickly, his legs bent and stretched, and his body had already bounced up, dodging these iron eggs. But the iron egg dodged, but his flying knife was already in front of him.

He could only roll sideways in mid-air, dodging the blade of the flying knife in embarrassment, as if it were the case, and his clothes were also cut a few times by the flying knife.

All this is just between lightning and flint, waiting for the man in white to land. Zhu Tianfei laughed loudly, and wanted to rush up to capture the thief with an arrow. But at this time, the dozens of people who poured in pounced again.

Han Daring saw the man in white rolling to the ground, and stretched out his hand into his arms, but it was not good. Seeing Zhu Tianfei rushing up, it was too late to stop him, but fortunately, everyone pounced on him and temporarily blocked Zhu Tianfei's way.

The man in white actually took out a pistol from his arms!

"Bang"! Pulled the trigger towards Zhu Tianfei!
